Something else new- Zujava

I've just signed up! It's the brainchild Glen , who I "know" from Squidoo. Goold luck Glen! Can I handle another portal for writing- we'll see. Going to give it my best shot!

Getting started with Pinterest

Do you use Pinterest? I've seen it around but put off trying it, but I've made a start. Here's my Pinterest page There's not a lot there at the moment, but it looks like it could be fun.I'll be pinning Wizzley and Squidoo pics, and lots more from around the web.

Hiking, walking,backpacking

Write about what you know that's what they all say.
OK then, I'll write more about hiking, walking, backpacking. Call it what you like!
I'm going to use Wizzley for a series of backpacking recommendations.
If you don't know yet what Wizzley is, follow the link and take a look! It's an easy to use writing platform that may make you money as well.

I've just come up with  this beautiful Berghaus Women's Freeflow 20 (Amethyst / Purple Berry) from Amazon.co.uk. This is the one I have, but not in the great purple. Maybe I need a new rucksack?

Australian Open Tennis, and that old favourite celeriac.

Heading into a new week, the big news round the whitemoss household is that the Australian Open Tennis tournament has started. Will it be late nights, or do we get up early in the morning? As big tennis fans, this is a fortnight that messes up the body clock, but which we love.

I'm going to be updating my Top Mens' Tennis Players up close and personal page regularly. This is largely made up of my own photos from our annual visits to Queens Club , London in June. If you'd like to take a look and leave a comment that would be great.

The other news in the whitemoss web world is that my quirky What the heck can I do with celeriac? page has become my top lens on Squidoo. Celeriac has definitely become more popular since I wrote this page about two years ago. It's such a versatile vegetable- known as "the ugly one", it's many great talents are now being recognised. Great in soups, mash, casseroles and raw in salads, if you don't know what to do with celeriac you'll find out here.

Readers in the UK who want to know more about celeriac and other great veggies could treat themsleves to Hugh's book 

River Cottage Veg Every Day! (River Cottage Every Day)

Cherry Blossom Time- plan a party!

Believe it or not, the Cherry Blossom is starting to appear in some places in the Northern hemisphere. Time to freshen up my Cherry Blossom Parties page.
This Japanese tradition has now spread all over the world. If you need an excuse for a party now that Christmas is over, take a look at my How to give a Cherry Blossom Party page and see if it's something you might like to try.
Very sadly our own favourite Cherry Blossom tree at White Moss House was blown down in the gales last week.
Read all about it on the White Moss House Blog- with pictures too.

Purple Kindle Covers and Kindle skins

I love my Kindle but hate the grey colour ( or gray color if you're from the USA).
I've not only got one, I've got two, lovely purple Kindle covers, one a leather one, one lightweight.
Read all about my choice of the best Purple accesories for your Kindle here.

The article appears on the writers' website, Wizzley. If you're interested in making money by writing online, click the Wizzley link above to find out more. It's fun and easy to use.

The best Lake District books for your Kindle

Lots of people received a Kindle for Christmas. I've has my Kindle since last summer, and I just love it. One of the best uses for your Kindle is that it cuts down your baggage when travelling. Obviously you can download fiction to read whilst on holiday, but remember that you can also download guide books and other books related to your holiday destination. I've picked my favourite Lake District books for your Kindle. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

Everyone's gone New Year Diet crazy

Every magazine or newspaper you open right now is full of tips to get slim and fit in 2012.
I'm suggesting you try The Dukan Diet. I lost 14 ponds before Christmas on the Dukan Diet, and I's suggest you read Starting the Dukan Diet for my top tips.

The first few days of the Dukan Diet are called The Dukan Diet Attack Phase and I've written a whole lens to help you through the Dukan Diet Attack Phase. which I think you'll find really helpful.

You do really need to buy the book. UK readers can buy The Dukan Diet from amazon.co.uk here.
